991 GTS or a 991.2 Carrera S ?

[david hockney]

Taking everything into account ie: performance and future residuals which would you go for?

The forthcoming 991.2 carrera is about 85k base price -so after adding all the usual options looking
at well over 90 grand-nearer 100 on the road.......
Although the 991 GTS is still silly money on the OPC network some of the indy Porsche specialists are
looking good value- JZM have just dropped a couple of grand off theirs-

Is the standard 991.2 carrera S worth the extra dough?

I've only driven the GTS but suspect I'd prefer that to the turbo 991.2. Two owners already on that one. Hmmm.

i like that 991gts in silver. have a 991S and was annoyed when the GTS came out as for me perfect spec More bhp, PSE making it an interesting proposition. Think 88k GBP is not a real bargain yet.....

Can't you just sell a couple more paintings and stretch to a brand new 991 GTS?

GTS is a stunning car with the aerokit , but the 991.2 is faster, has the new PCM & is cheaper, but doesn't look quite as good.

991.2.., :-)

991.2 is far from cheaper, I specced one up to the level of my GTS and it was £3k more expensive. And that was without the nice alcantara interior and bespoke exterior bits. A cooking Carrera will also always loose more money than a GTS.

it's a matter of what you want.......Turbo or N/A.....a GTS will be the last of the 3.8 N/A engine cars and if you can find one with a manual gearbox a decade down the line will be a sort after car.....the new 3.0 ltr Turbo although faster will be just an ordinary run of the mill (if there is such a thing) 911 Carrera and nothing special as far as 911 Porsches go....all in my opinion of course (do I have to put this statement after every post) BTW the JZM GTS looks purposeful in Silver doesn't it

I've just sold my 991 GTS, which had an aerokit, and I loved it. Although I would be temped with the new 991.2 Carerra S, it'll be faster, and I do like sampling the latest tech...!

It isn't much point speccing a 991.2 to be a GTS, may as well get a GTS.

I was simply making the point that the 991.2 is not cheaper than a GTS. In other words you were talking crap.

I've done 9000 miles in my GTS which I got in March. 2wd manual. It's a MUCH better car than I expected. I have told my OPC that I want a new one, built as late as possible, to be registered next March, that way I will have a lovely NA 3.8 for the next couple of years in stead of a c2s turbo. It might be brilliant, who knows. I'm sure it won't be crap. But my GTS is a superb fast road car.

Just got a GTS here (2WD PDK Cab) and bloody love it.

[PorscheGT4]

As I don't really see the 911 as a true fun sports car, I would go turbo and get the new one, it will be a nicer drive day to day for sure.

Do people really go out just for a drive in a 991 at the week ends ?

week ends cars for me have to be 2 seated way more fun sports cars and roof less.

Having small (useless) rear seats does not have any effect on fun factor!

nice daily, but it would not get me out of bed at 9am on a Sunday Morning just to go drive it when I have been driving it all week.

Very nice car to drive day to day though.

9am, you've missed the best bit of a day!

You are not as smart as I thought then :-)

I'd get a 991 naturally aspirated GTS over the 991.2 C2S every day of the week ! in fact I'd get it over any 991.2 (except for the proper GT models)

Maybe. Each to their own. I'd feel a complete prat driving pretty much anywhere in a GT4 with a great big spoiler on.

Slight shame that all your recent posts have to knock other peoples choices (see your "correcting a post" from sports car to "GT" for another 991 GTS post). Is that a chip, or the whole bag? (I speak as someone who owned and highly rates the Cayman, but get over yourself. You're coming across as a tit.
